Please could you give me a direct link? I really struggle on that website,
the amount of graphics, mouseover links, frames, ads, flash screens and
other pretty visuals that make my screenreaders go funny.

Thanks.

Regards,

Damien

Hi Damien,

Seeing that the file is almost 100 mb I thought it would be best if people
ate up Microsoft's bandwidth rather than mine. *grin*. People can d/l it
from Microsoft.
